More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance, says Jesus. This is where true wealth is found, not in material things!
Pope Francis
Image
Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.
Pope Francis
Image
I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.
Pope Francis
Image
The goods of the earth are meant for everyone.
Pope Francis
Image
It is difficult to judge the past by the criteria of the present.
Pope Francis
Image
Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us never forget that it is the Lord who guides the Church. He is the one who makes our apostolates fruitful.
Pope Francis
Image
Breathing is made up of two stages: inhaling, the intake of air, and exhaling, the letting out of air. The spiritual life is fed, nourished, by prayer and is expressed outwardly through mission: inhaling and exhaling. When we inhale, by prayer, we receive the fresh air of the Holy Spirit.
Pope Francis
Image
Migrants and refugees are not pawns on the chessboard of humanity. They are children, women and men who leave or who are forced to leave their homes for various reasons, who share a legitimate desire for knowing and having, but above all for being more
Pope Francis
Image
Today everything comes under the laws of competition and the survival of the fittest, where the powerful feed upon the powerless. As a consequence, masses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities, without any means of escape.
Pope Francis
Image
Take care of God’s creation. But above all, take care of people in need.
Pope Francis
Image
May all people here find inspiration and strength to build a future of reconciliation, justice and peace for all the children of this beloved land.
Pope Francis
Image
I would like to ask you a question: how many of you pray to the Holy Spirit every day? Probably few, but we must satisfy this desire of Jesus and pray every day to the Holy Spirit, so that he opens our heart towards Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
Mary joins us, she fights at our side. She supports Christians in the fight against the forces of evil. Especially through prayer, through the rosary. Hear me out, the rosary... Do you pray the Rosary each day?
Pope Francis
Image
How does St. Joseph exercise his role as protector? Discreetly, humbly and silently, but with an unfailing presence and utter fidelity, even when he finds it hard to understand.
Pope Francis
Image
Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.
Pope Francis
Image
We have to find a new balance otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
I believe in the old warrior's credo that to the victor go the spoils.
Pope Francis
Image
Things have a price and can be for sale. But people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things.
Pope Francis
